Paul Cézanne (French, 1839 - 1906) is considered by many to be the father of Modernism and an inspiration to 21st century artists, including Picasso and Matisse. The exhibition will feature over 40 paintings and 20 watercolors and drawings by Cézanne, thoroughly exploring the evolution of his career.
As a fabulous addition, Cézanne's work will be displayed alongside paintings by 19 artists whose styles reflect, both visually and poetically, the impact of Cézanne's extraordinary legacy. Among the artists whose work will be included are Max Beckmann, Georges Braque, Pierre Bonnard, Charles Demuth, Alberto Giacometti, Arshile Gorky, Marsden Hartley, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Fernand Léger, Brice Marden, Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, Giorgio Morandi, Pablo Picasso, Liubov Popova, and Jeff Wall!
In addition to your private, docent-led tour of the Cezanne and Beyond exhibition prior to the show's public hours, your group's personalized multi-day program could include:
- A special tour of the Philadelphia Flower Show (March 1 - 8) or the prestigious Philadelphia Antiques Show (April 11-14)
- A visit to the renowned Barnes Foundation, home to one of the world's finest private collections of Impressionist and early-modern art
- An opera, ballet or orchestral performance at the architecturally-acclaimed Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts
- And the signature piece of all Philadelphia Hospitality programs - a reception, lunch or afternoon tea in a private home or club
Philadelphia Hospitality invites all modern art lovers to Philadelphia for this unique experience. Custom group itineraries can be arranged for half-day and multi-day tours.
